'GLEE' ALUM KEV MCHALE CONFIRMS HE'S GAY: 'I THK THERE WAS ZERO SURPRISE'

"#NoTearsLeftToCry is gayer than me and I ACCEPT," Kev McHale tweeted" emprop="scriptn * little gay kid on glee *

I have to say – I hope I don’t get emotnal – I always felt so rpected by Cory, and I thk beg a young gay kid, I’ve never really felt rpected very much by olr straight typ, I gus.

HEY LTLE RICKEY -- WHERE DID MY LTLE GAY BOY GET LOST?

I feel like everyone has tried to get me to say that “Klae” or Kurt and Blae is groundbreakg, but I’ve never thought of them as groundbreakg bee there have been so many famo gay upl and famo gay weddgs the past and I feel like would be very ignorant for me to say, “Oh y, they’re a groundbreakg uple.

I remember when I first started beg an actor and I first started Glee, I was told on many ocsns, “Well ’s too bad that you’re gay bee you’ll never get the young female followg.

Personally, when I found out that I got st as the gay character on Glee, I had thought my reer was gog to be over bee at the time, was such a taboo for an actor of any age to play a gay character, and now you look and there are multiple gay characters on every sgle show.
